Genuinely thought we were going to get to see and hear the full splashdown.
Great video as ever. Really cool bloke you bumped into at the start.
Hahaha I thought About a warts and all approach, but it turns out warts aren't very nice. That Ricky fella? Seems like a great guy!
Finally got round to this video. Was wet and cold to watch, my partner Stuart came 6th and he said it was so tough that day. We saw you both a couple of times getting onto rides, we must of been following you 🤣 But to far to shout hi. Great video as always. Well done both of you
Aahhh I wonder if that was you that shouted my name at the start??? Sorry I missed you guys! That's amazing that he did so well. It's a seriously hard course!! Thanks for watching ❤️
@runningwithandy4486 It was 🤣 I just spotted you and panicked shouted. Missed Brett on both laps though. It looked It, especially on that second lap. You all did so well 👏 Looking forward to plenty of more videos in 2024
A good effort. I've done what you did three times in a race. Needs must. Tell Brett to get some regular content up. He's good value 😂
Glad to hear it's not just me... Glad I made it on time!
Great effort Andy! You’ve had a pretty packed race schedule so this time is seriously good 👌💪
Thanks Harry, that course is not good for you mentally if you're not at the top of your game... It's basically a rollercoaster underneath your feet 🤣 I was just glad to get through!
Great to have you back 👍🏃♂️
Thank you! Hopefully now I can find more time to make and upload some more stuff 👍🏻
Thanks for the shout out mate. Great video and You was right !!! What a tough course that was 🥵
It's a cruel mistress in places isn't it! Great to meet you mate and well done on Amsterdam as well 👊🏻
Glad you two didnt let anything dampen your day.😁 well done both !!!
Thank you, it was a tough day of running!
🎉well done Andy🏃🏻♂️
Good time on that race course👍
Thank you - it's such a crazy route with difficult elevation, in poor weather too didn't help at all!
Well done on your Poo.B Andy! Jokes aside that was a fantastic effort for a challenging race in wet conditions 💪 watched this on the train to work and it set me up for the day 🙌 Love your channel mate
Nice one Mike! I wonder how it compared to your Thorpe park one, I'm interested to try that one day. Nice one for the support!
Thanks for the CZcams debut Andy! 😂
Wahey! Pleasure mate 👊🏻
Somewhere on the cutting room floor is footage of Andy taking a dump, hahaha!
That's for my only fans mate 😎 Or should I set up a company called Pootreon?
Well done Andy. Every runs a great run just some are quicker than others. Was funny seeing Tim set off at the start - MARM sure does run those Half’s quick😂. Great stuff mate
Nice one Gav. He's a great bloke and a really good runner. Excited to see what he gets up to next year!
Grand day out. Best wishes on the next.
Thanks very much!
Man, you & Brett are beasts ! Great times mate. I also ran a half on Nov. 12th. It was my 7th half & my 1st ever sub 2 ! 1:59:33 !!! Super excited about that time ! Glad to see you're back Andy !
That's great to hear, bagging that sub 2 is such a massive confidence booster, well done! ❤️
@runningwithandy4486 It really is !!!! Been chasing it & didn't think I would achieve it so soon. Thanks Andy !!!! 👍
Love that you did it with a few seconds to spare too, you must have paced it well!
@runningwithandy4486 For my 1st time ever I ran super close to the 2 hour pacer. Just wanted to get a PB, which would have been anything under 2:07:45. Felt great & stayed near the pacer almost whole race !
It wouldn't be Alton Towers if it wasn't raining 😅 I got soaked last time I was there. Congrats on the poo B! 😂👍🏻🏃♂️
Haha cheers Mark - absolutely, it's like going to Wales... guaranteed monsoon...
He’s back 🎉
Had a nice little break!
Paula surely will be honored you mentioned her in your video :D But with you poo stop and your shoe lace undone, I think 1h47min is a brilliant time! Well done man!
🤣🤣🤣 Thank you! ❤️
It’s like watching the Laurel and Hardy 😂😂 talk about bro love. 💙 loves ya both. Get effort both. Buster
Hahaha nice one Buster 👍🏻 ❤️
NOTTINGHAM HOLME HALF DECEMBER 10th PANCAKE FLAT
Very interesting information! 👌🏻 ❤️
👌👍
Cheers Neil 😎
Well done Andy great time. Interestingly you got faster when you got lighter😊.
Hahaha science doesn't lie 🤣 I'm so glad I addressed the problem rather than trying to carry on.
I thought Paula went on the side of the road - at least you went in a loo 😊
There is that... God knows how she ever lived that down! What a woman!
Skin is 100% waterproof.
Absolutely 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Thought you were going to film that 💩 there! 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I thought I'd spare you all the experience...
Well done. 5 min improvement on last year isn’t so shabby.
Poop stops happen - had a few myself down the years. Taking few minutes out for loo can actually gain you time, rather trying to run through it.
All things considered, it was a good day. Not perfect but not much in life is.
I'm so glad I sorted the problem rather than hoping it just went away! Thanks for watching ❤️
Well done! That is some result in the cold and rain. I ran Winchester Half in 2019 and it gashed down fifteen mins from the start and we were all soaking wet and our core temperatures plummeted and we stood there doing static stretches. Ran through the City, put my feet in two deep potholes full of rain water and then moaned all the way to the end, to finish wrapped in a foil and being led to a coffee shop for warmth after 2hr 08 mins. So I commend you for your run! It maybe too far for Brett but I would recommend the Farnborough Half on 21st Jan 2024 if you want a fast run. This year it was minus 5 but the run around the airport and then around the roads is super fast. Good luck for 2024 !
Thanks Paul, and well done on your Winchester race, stories like that trump having a perfectly eventless day out I think, as you'll never forget it. Just hoping that doesn't happen again for you! I'll have a think about Farnborough, I've never raced in Jan so that could be fun. I'll inform Brett too 😎
Anyone else find Bretts channel ?
Yes it's OB1 👍 Hope you find it OK.
@ob1brand 👊🏻
Well done on a 13.poo under the belt.
Haha thank you 🤣
Lol poo b😂
Hopefully I won't have too many more to compete with!
Oh no, not a ”Paula Radcliffe” lol
Unfortunately yes... When you gotta go...
You beat my PB by 10 solid minutes and you even stopped to curl one out 😆
Hahahaha I'm so sorry about that 🤣❤️ the Chinese I had a few days before came back to haunt me...
Why would anyone want to run this race. But well done
It's beyond me Lee 🤦🏻♂️
